Putting the Max in Maxillaria

[Pilot]

Got this from orchids.com and can I just say....good God! It's enormous! I paid 35 USD for this plant and it is the same price I paid for my last max t that was wasted by a foot of Gail from a freak storm. That plant was very small and weak compared to this plant. This thin is a monster!!

Thanks guys! I'm amazed by this plant. It's huge. Moreover it has filled its pot with its classically stringy max roots. I live above 6500' in Colorado and as some know, humidity is a challenge here, it being very low, as well as the sun being an issue because it's very strong. I have this plant growing with my Oncs for the next few days as they get high light with direct morning sun and then just high light but no direct sun the rest. I'm hoping to acclimate this plant so eventually I can send it out into the full sun along with my tolumnias.

Great plant! I seen some specimen plants from Norman's Orchids (Orchids.com nursery) that were HUGE (120 plus bulbs)!!!!! Hope you can grow it as large as that!

Great looking plant

I've seem pics of some massive ones of these. Not sure what I would do with mine if it got like some of those but I'd be pleased
